McDermott has coached other places and often credits Andy Reid learning many things from. I know beane and McDermott spent time in Carolina, but still they could be like the Pats* and do practices in Greenbrier in West Virginia for joint practices with the Houston Texans Them Hollers are far from both home bases Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 I expect at least 2 trades to take place then and both teams will swoop in on cutdown day. Its what friends do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made a bad point. I just don't like how the training camp schedule came out. It also seems like McDermott has no desire to continue in Rochester.

Beane/McD/Morgan know a lot of people in that organization and when there is that familiarity they would rather do these joint practices with those they know and processes they are familiar with. It makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many times has Rivera lost to Bellicheck? Now ask yourself if this could be useful to MCD, https://247sports.com/nfl/carolina-panthers/Article/Ron-Rivera-beating-Patriots-key-128634107/ The season the Eagles won the SB they were said to have used the Panthers victory in the same year at Foxboro as a blueprint for victory... We also own them in preseason. Patriots love playing us in the 3rd game of preseason and have arranged to do so again this year because we are sure to give them a good test.

You joke but its not impossible. Riverboat Ron was very lucky not to be fired last year after going 6-2 in the first half and 1-7 in the second half of the season. With a new owner his job is under pressure this year. I wouldn't wish it on you though. Edited June 19, 2019 by Seoulofstone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be great if it happened and they answered as that would be tampering, likely get their 1st round pick! Sorry but no way that's happening unless he does very poorly here the next year or two and for whatever reason Buffalo encourages him to look elsewhere. But that's not the work it usually works. What could happen is McD calls up Rivera and offers him a job. But even that not likely immediately as Ron will get the rest of his contract $$ from Carolina anyway as long as he stays un-employed. Certainly some assistant job in Buffalo is going to pay less, so Carolina would still be on the hook for a big part of his salary.

Totally imploded his rookie year. One of the last years Jerry Butler was with us, Wade was the HC and Doogie Flootie was on the team, they scrimmaged with the Iggles in Lehigh, PA.

Nanker Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 (edited) IIRC, he was smacked by a Brownie and was never the same after that. I think the Stealer hit came in a warmup game. It ruined his rookie season and beyond. Edit: Just looked it up. The Big hit was in the Cleveland warmup game and followed by the past useless game against the Stealers. However, I do believe they scrimmaged the Browns at the Browns that summer. Edited June 24, 2019 by Nanker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
